This is an awsome game to play. Trust me when I say, it is worth the money. At first it did seem a bit hard. I got stuck a couple of times but I eventually figured those problems out. Overall this is a well rounded game. The only thing I have against it is that there is no Dialogue in the cut-scenes but that's okay because it allows the creators of this game to put more into it that almost make it seem endless. So far I have put in 90+ hours into this game. I can only say that I will be sad once I reach the end of this game.
What's great about it: Fun to play, seems like it never ends
What's not so great: No dialogue in the cut-scenes
I would recommend this to a friend!

Zelda being one of the best Nintendo franchises (if not the best), this was a must play game for me. After finishing story and optional quests (50 PLUS HOURS), here is what I think.
PROS.
PLENTY OF DUNGEONS: Just like previous Zelda games, this consists of a big world map and then plenty of dungeons in the world map. As the story progress, you will have access to different dungeons and as you make your way through different dungeons, you will encounter different enemies, obtain different items and finally fight a major boss. However, things are not as repetitive as it sounds. The story does very good job motivating you why you should go through each dungeon, plus, between the dungeon you are required to and also you have an option to do many different things (see below for more details)
WOLF/HUMAN GAMEPLAY: So as you may know, in this game you can turn into a wolf (more like you are forcefully turned into this creature in the beginning). To progress through the story (and to get access to different dungeons), you are required to do perform tasks at both human and a wolf. In the beginning of the game, this may feel a bit redundant; however, as you go forward (say about finishing first three dungeons), this will actually become fun. Both being human and wolf has their own advantages for both in combat and accessing different areas and this game will challenge you to successfully use your abilities both as wolf and human to progress through the game.
WEAPONS AND GADGETS: As many of you may know, Zelda games are famous for weapons and gadgets you get to use. This game is no exception. As you progress through the story, especially when you go to different dungeons, you will get access to different gadgets. Boy these gadgets are fun to use. Creative use of gadgets is required to solve many puzzles in many dungeons, beat bosses and get secret treasures.
BOSSES: There are plenty of sweet bosses in this game. As mentioned above, each dungeon will contain one major boss. Some dungeons have two major bosses. On top of them, there are also bosses outside of dungeon gameplay. So if you are like me and enjoy beating bosses in games, then you will love this game. Also as mentioned above, YOU WILL HAVE TO use your gadgets and human/wolf ability creatively to overcome these bosses. While earlier bosses may seem pushover, later bosses are more fun.
VARIETY IN GAMEPLAY AND MINIGAMES: As mentioned above, you will be playing both as human and wolf. On top of that the story and side quests will also introduce you to different type of gameplay, such as horse riding, kayaking, swimming over and underwater, riding big birds, riding boars (slightly different than riding boars). Honestly, I love games that provide you with so many different types of experiences.
SWORD AND SHIELD PLAY WITH WII MOTE: While not perfect, different moves you can do with Wii mote for using sword and shield work 90% of the time. Some moves will feel cooler than the other.
LOTS AND LOTS OF SECRET ITEMS: There are hundreds and hundreds of hidden items throughout the game, some more useful than others of course. If you are a completionist, you will love hunting for these hidden treasures. And as mentioned above, creative use of gadgets truly makes this treasure hunting experience enjoyable.
STORY: The game has a decent story with some what of a suspense to it. Can't describe much without spoiling it.
CONS.
FISHING WITH WII MOTE: Dear lord, THIS IS SO ANNOYING. To those who actually fish may find it fun, but I don't fish and I don't find it fun. Unfortunately, there are two places in the story where you are required to fish and I find that experience torturing and horrible. If you want to get all the secret items, you will have to fish more.
WII VERSION UPDATE: As you may know this game was originally created for gamecube. It was pretty sweet how they made sword and shield control with wii mote, but I wish they had done more in terms of improving graphics. While wii is not known for its graphics, some games like Metroid Other M and Super Mario Galaxy look pretty awesome on it. So if they wanted, they certainly could have done better job.
CONCLUSION
So other than fishing and graphics, this was pretty much a perfect game for me. People who like action adventure, THIS GAME IS A MUST.
What's great about it: gadgets you get to use, bosses, 20-50hrs long
What's not so great: enemies, backtracking
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just broke down and finally got a WIi. I'm a huge XBox 360 gamer and I wanted a system that I could play with the wife. I bought a few games for "us" but I had to get Zelda for myself due to all the great reviews I've read about it. I was not at all disappointed. This game brings out the kid in me and at the same time is one of the best games on any platform I have played in a long while. The controls are flawless and the graphics, although not even comparable to the 360 or PS3, are good enough. After a while of having fun with this game, you won't even be bothered by the graphics anymore. This is a must own for Wii gamers and if you have contemplated buying a Wii, this should be one of your first purchases. You will get addicted to this game.
What's great about it: Controls are flawless

There is almost no audio voice, you have to read everything being said and no movie quality graphics in cut scenes (same graphics as in the gameplay) but I am not sure that it's a bad thing, By cutting out all those memory drainers they were able to prolong the game. (And it is very long) The game is just awesome, missions are challenging, thrilling and just fun. This game deserves 10 stars.
What's great about it: Everything!!!
What's not so great: There are no audio voices and cut scenes are cheap

Great game. Very challenging and I really like the way you are transforming from a human to a wolf. You have to learn how to do everything both ways.
What's great about it: I really like all the zelda games... this one is just a step better...

Once I got past the beginning of this game, there was no stopping me. First of all, I love how you get to name Link and Epona whatever you want. How cool is that? And you get to ride Epona for travelling from place to place. It's so fun controlling the horse-ride! And the way Link changes from wolf to man? Totally awesome! I just love how long the game is. Like, I've been playing this game for months and I'm not even half way there! Link's different weapons are way cool. This game is definately worth its money.
What sort of annoyed me was that at the cut-scenes, no one talked. You just had to read the little speech bubble thing. The graphics were pretty good, a lot better than most, but I've seen better. Throughout the game, it's really easy to get lost and not know what to do without a guide. And it's impossible to beat the bosses when you don't know how to hurt them. The dungeon parts do take very long, way too long in my opinion. When it becomes night, I really get irritated. Almost all the shops close and there are more monsters out and about. It takes a while for it to become day again. I could do without the night.
All in all, this game was just amazing. It was a lot funner than I imagined. I recommend this game to anyone who likes direct fighting by hitting and stuff in games. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with this game.
What's great about it: Plot, fighting style, transportation style
What's not so great: Difficulty

This is a very good game for the Wii. The storyline and the innovative use of the wii controls are always a plus! Zelda game is much longer than any other game that i have played, which makes it fun so that you dont beat it in 4 hours. The only negative things is that the music and graphics can feel outdated because we have seen them in previous zelda games. Other than that I recommend this for fun, long play! ♥
What's great about it: good characters and story, great puzzles, amazing enviroment design, long
What's not so great: the sounds and the graphics can sometimes feel outdated
I would recommend this to a friend!
